Motorists using car parks in Oakham and Uppingham will no longer have to hunt for change or rush back to their cars from August, following the introduction of a new system that lets you pay for parking with your mobile.
RingGo is a quick, easy-to-use mobile phone service that allows users to pay for parking by credit or debit card, rather than with cash at a machine. Rutland County Council is introducing the service from 11th August 2015, which will complement existing payment methods in all Council car parks.
“Mobile phones are no longer just phones and this is a tried and tested service that will make parking much more convenient – both for visitors and local people. We are not removing the ability to pay for parking with cash in the conventional way – this will still be an option. Mobile payment is being introduced alongside cash payments as a handy alternative and has a number of benefits, including the ability to extend your stay without having to return to your vehicle. If you are out shopping, running late or decide to have another cup of coffee you can simply use your phone to pay for additional parking, making it easier to spend more time in our market towns.”
